I've always followed the rule of NEVER using a Beta OS for gigs. Followed it right up until last week when I decided to install it - and it later gave me error screens that I couldn't get rid of until the Kemper support team told me how to reset everything. To me, the acoustic sim is a fun toy - but after having sat with it more, I find that's all it is in terms of live performances. Even with EQ, I couldn't get the full body sound that I was looking for and when someone else plays a real acoustic at the same time, it got buried. So (IMO) it's definitely not worth the risk.

Thanks for the info. Gonna hold off until after my next gig. Don't think we have anything lined up for a while after that.

Right now, I'm using Michael Britt, Bert, and Live Ready Sound for everything live. I also use a lot of Tone Junkie stuff at home.

I know this is a dumb question, as using beta on production is never a good idea, but have you guys who have been using the beta think it is stable enough to use for a gig? Only new feature I'd really be using would be the acoustic simulator on a few songs. Having the acoustic sim isn't super important to me, so if it is really buggy or unstable, I'll just stick with the older release I've been using.

Hi All,

V4 is Live! Added 5 profiles using a K100 speaker and two with V30.

Test drive the K100 profile attached to this post!

That test profile sounds absolutely great! I did stick a tiny amount of reverb and delay on it, but it sounds perfect for a lot of the 80s stuff I play. The clips you put up sound really nice, as well. Now I just need to learn to play like you clip guy =) Awesome job on these. I'm sure I'm biased towards the Marshalls, but these are probably your best work yet.

Hope so. It's not really that big of a deal playing at home, but when things open up and I start playing out again it is kind of annoying to deal with.

Use the left and right arrow keys.

Thanks. Oddly, now both up/down AND left/right are both working.

I just installed the latest update for Rig Manager and the profiler OS. Now, the up and down arrows only seem to toggle between two rigs, in Browser mode. Anyone else having this issue?

I don't know if it's something I'm doing, but after the most recent (non-Beta) firmware update, the foot controller for my non-powered rack is freezing and rebooting itself at odd intervals. Anyone else seeing this?

Is it only doing it in Browser mode and not Performance mode? Mine now does that in Browser Mode, but the only issue in Performance mode is it sometimes skips performances.

Quote from tryhardhack

Nothing has changed for me either. Still doing it. Could it be a physical problem with some profilers possibly having a button issue?

It does it either with the physical buttons or a midi controller. Kemper also admitted it was a known issue.

I was going through these, the other day, and one of them (not sure if it was a rig or a performance) had an absolutely perfect slapback delay on it. I am having a hell of a time finding it again. In anyone runs across that slapback, please let me know.

Indeed, it's a rabbit hole second only in size to the entire friggin' internet, Mario.

I'd suggest the OP venture forth with caution. The free Rig Packs in Rig Manager ought to provide enough of an idea where he would like to start, and with any luck, those tasty example Rigs hand-picked by Kemper might just be all he needs... apart from the 14 000 free Rigs on the exchange.

If you suffer from any trace of OCD, even if you choose only one vendor, the danger is that you'll be forever buying his new packs whenever they come out, if for no other reason than to keep your collection "complete".

I'm reminded of a fella I knew who bought a teddy bear for his niece or someone 15 years ago. He now has around 20 000 teddy bears, some of which are worth thousands each. I kid you not. He has no particular fondness for them and keeps them all in storage, but he was bitten by this sinister desire that I referred to, that of feeling compelled to complete a collection of something.

Through the ages marketing strategies have relied on this weakness of ours, possibly most-obviously when it comes to including a free, random baseball / football / motorcar / cartoon character on a cardboard, laminated card in a cereal packet or a useless plastic-molded character at a supermarket checkout. Kids obviously suffer from this affliction and for many it doesn't abate... ever.

This phenomenon is totally applicable to Profile-buying IMHO; I've seen and experienced it time and again.

You just perfectly described me =)

I would start with the Rig Packs. You can get a good idea of what a profiler's ear is like, from that. Some other people, without Rig Packs, also offer a large amount of free profiles.

lonestargtr , thanks for including the performances and the effects, separately. Having those, in addition to the top-notch profiles, is SO convenient. The 2020 pack provides a ridiculous amount of value for the price -- even if you didn't have the sale going. Thanks again for all of the hard work and for making a great product.

Quote from Burkhard

Then please open a support ticket and send a PROFILER backup including the Performance in question.

I did. It is a known issue.

Quote from Burkhard

I cannot reproduce such behavior with current OS and my data at all.

My impression is, there is only a problem with one of your Performances: #2.

I would overwrite that Performance and rebuild it from scratch.

Thanks. I actually had to redo the performances, due to another bug. The problem persisted after that.

Quote from lonestargtr

shhhh.... it's still secret...

Sounds ready to me! Great, as always.

This is still a known issue. I thought I had seen where it had been resolved, in a firmware update, but I must have been mistaken.

Is anyone else still experiencing performance mode skipping performances going up and down? For example, if I am on performance four and hit the up arrow, it sometimes goes to six. This happens both with the physical buttons on the Kemper and using a midi controller.

Great playthrough with the Clean to Grind pack.

Great sounding profiles and great playing! He makes it look soooooooo easy =)

I emailed Top Jimi as well, with my original order info. He replied with the updated profiles, in less than ten minutes! That is some great customer service!
